[Imminent fracture of the tibia due to an osteolytic lesion caused by an intraosseous tenosynovial giant cell tumor : An unusual clinico-histopathological constellation].

We report on the rare constellation of an intraosseous manifestation of the proximal tibia of a lower leg stump after Burgess amputation as a result of a locally uncontrollable tenosynovial giant cell tumor of the upper ankle. The curettage of the local findings and operative stabilization through an intramedullary composite osteosynthesis led to an early rehabilitation of the exoprosthesis care with regaining patient autonomy.
